When I first saw your comment, I had to go back a page or two to see if you were talking about a road or the path. Since I realize it's a path, I completely disagree with you. All forms of non-motorized transportation should be welcome as long as the riders are respectful of others on the path.

"If you have input about the significance of this property, please send to blc@boston.gov before 5pm on 10/17/2021." Dear BLC, Don't tear it down. I'll never forget that one time I parked there. Love, MrDee12345

As a nonsubscriber, I can't see the content. Still, I feel like Lowell is always making a comeback. It's certainly MUCH better than when I was growing up in the 80s and 90s in Billerica. As far as old mill cities go, it's doing quite well. I just wish it would see it self more like an...

I see that most of the new flags honor the natural environment that make Mass great, such as the water, flora, mountains beaches, etc. But those are natural to the area and they don't represent our accomplishments as a state. Could there be a design that represent our high standard of education...

It seems someone on reddit designed it: Here are some more that I've found online:

I found this one online a while back and I like what they're trying to do. I wouldn't mind going somewhere in this direction for the new flag.

I've got a dumb question that maybe someone could answer. I was looking at the possible plans of a silver line extension to Everett and the possible branching off of the two lines around Sullivan Square. Would there also be a route that continued through Chelsea and eventually to South Station...

If you look at this link, you'll see that the US does not have a very high homeless population compared to much of the world https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_homeless_population I realize that there are a lot of poor, war-torn countries that have high numbers of homeless...

But how is BPS for kids who can't get into exam schools?

You could always just drive through the state but not spend any money. That way you can add to the air pollution and traffic, but do nothing for their economy :ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

It's stunning. I have to wonder why they wouldn't consider using it as a cinema on nights it doesn't have a big show.

Instead of using Gillette, couldn't they use Alumni Stadium at BC? Sure, it's smaller but it's right on the green line and it would be easy for fans to reach the game by public transit.

Billerica (along with Tewksbury and Wilmington) have been "red" for as long as I remember. Growing up in Billerica (I was born in 78), I remember Republicans outnumbering Democrats by a significant margin. I also remember the last few elections went to the GOP presidential candidate. However, in...

Growing up in Billerica, I remember being amazed at the similarities. From what I do remember, as the Billerica Mall started to go down hill, the Woburn Mall stayed strong a bit longer. Woburn was also willing to make necessary changes to keep the mall viable. In Billerica, for years, they had...

Sorry for derailing the thread. You're right about St. Andrews - it's a gorgeous church in one of the more interesting neighborhoods. When I was a kid, we were always told to stay out of that neighborhood. One time I was jogging with my crossing country team down Wilson street and a bunch of...

I remember a lot of my friends parents came from Somerville. My parents were from out of state, but prior to living in Billerica, they were in Melrose. In the 70s, Billerica (and surrounding towns) had lots of cheap land and my parents bought our house on 5/8 acre for $39000. In today's dollars...

Years ago when I was growing up in Billerica, that hack writer Howie Carr wrote an insulting piece about my hometown calling it "Somerville with trees" among other things. For years you could buy bull's eyes in town with Howie's face in it. Nowadays, I wish Billerica was more like Somerville...

It looks nice from a distance, but up close those pastel blues look awful.

Or you could take a real photo of Pru. Now that's an ugly 1960s tower!

Thanks. Let's look at what we're losing and what we're gaining here: Losing: "Iconic" retail (whatever the hell that means) Hotel/Condo Boutique Office Gaining Lab space Ground floor retail I'm not all that bothered about losing the office or the "iconic" retail, but the loss of the hotel...
